1. Has the complete intro2. more interactions with other characters3. I prefer the flow

2nd run feels incomplete because of the lack of intro, no street section at the start and they kinda just toss you into the game. I also dont like how the story doesnt change at all from first to second run besides the ending. The ending and fighting G-5 doesnt make up for how messed up the beginning is.

I prefer 1st run, but I play them more or less equally. Obviously 1dt run had more time in development and turned out to be better and more organized, whereas 2nd run is rushed and feels like a remixed version of the first run.

I play 1st run if I just wanna hop in a do a quick run because it feels more organized, and I play 2nd run if I want to do a challenge run because 2nd run is more difficult.

My favorite challenge is speedrunning Claire 2nd run on Hardcore without using the item box, that’s because Claire 2nd run gets the most amount of items, weapons, and ammo types.

I almost exclusively play 2nd run. It skips what I call the bulls*** segment before the game really gets to start.

For this reason, I always have a separate save file on the 1st typewriter in 1st run, both characters so the game immediately starts in the precinct. There's no missable item before you enter the precinct anyway.

The best things about Japan: anime, manga, ryona and sushi.Sailor Moon, producing ryona since 1992.

That’s actually a pretty good idea. I might steal that. I’m not someone who usually has more than one file per character, so it never crossed my hand to have “starting point” saves.
